3.0 out of 5 stars Large Print version still has very small print., January 5, 2007

This review is from: KJV/Amplified Parallel Bible (Hardcover)

I love the idea of parallel Bibles, especially when I saw the KJV and the Amplified, my two favorite translations together.

I orderd the "Large Print" version, but was shocked that it is the same size print as my other regular print Bibles. It is not large at all - in fact the print is tiny, and it is light grey, not black. I have a large-print Amplified Bible that is really large print and easy to read.

I rechecked, and the Bible does say "Large Print" on the cover and on the inside, so unless this Bible is defective, what they call the "Large Print" version is not really large print at all. I thought that this might be useful for people to know.

Not only do I find the parallel versions of the bible truly a blessing in understanding the scriptures, but for me, the parallel KJV and AMP version was a great decision! I was always taught from the KJV version growing up, when going to church or participating in bible studies. Sometimes I seemed to have a hard time getting a deeper understanding of some of the words. And, recently I've been learning a lot from Joyce Meyer, and I find that she uses a lot of the Amplified version in her teaching and explanation of the bible. What a blessing to find a 2-in-1 bible with side-by-side scripture comparison, and I can read from one version and refer back to the other right on the same page! It's amazing to think that I can hold on to the part of my chilhood when KJV was so familiar to me, and to have a deeper explanation and easy-to-read version. I'm so thankful that I was able to find a bible that my husband and I could read that would help us both get that deep, meaningful understanding that makes reading the bible so eye-opening for us!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!, November 30, 2002

I have had my bible for two years. I have found it to be one of the best, if not the best, translations of the Bible. The convenience of having the KJV and the Amplified together is great. This is a must for those who like the richness of the KJV but also desire to have the original text meanings included in the Amplified. I say this is a must have!
